How To Avoid Speeding Fines - Everything You Need To Know

By Maximus McKinley

Car manufacturers can now design and build cars that are comfortable and easy to drive, and more importantly the vehicles handle well when you speed, making speeding an easy thing to do. If you are driving along on a motorway, or side road, and the roads are quiet it is easy to speed without noticing. The implications are that you could suffer some penalty points, raising your insurance premium, and by fined too. We'd like to share a few tips to make your life a little easier.

Tip #1 - Don't be distracted! If you are in a car or similar, then its designed for driving and not for eating food or watching the countryside. One of the biggest issues is when you are distracted, and this is what you need to avoid.

Tip #2 - Be Alert - Being alert is another important tip that can be helpful if you want to avoid getting speeding fines as well. Sometimes it is easy to drive along and never realize that the speed has changed, and soon you are in trouble for speeding. This can often be prevented by just being alert when you are driving. Make sure that you are looking around, keeping your eyes on the signs around you, as well as the traffic. These things will clue you in on speed changes you may otherwise miss. Being alert also helps you keep in mind the speed you are going. When you are alert, you are more likely to check on the speed you are traveling from time to time, avoiding speeding in the first place.

Tip #3 - Allow Plenty of Time for Travel - Make sure that you allow plenty of time for travel. When you are behind and you need to be somewhere quickly, you are more likely to start speeding, and before you know it you end up with a big fine. Start out a few minutes early for your destination and relax. If you are a minute late it probably won't be the end of the world. Just leaving about 10 minutes early to account for any delays will make you drive slower and you'll be able to miss out on the speeding fines.

Tip #4 - Stay Calm When Driving - Whenever you are driving a vehicle, you need to stay calm. If you are upset, angry, crying, or stressed out, being behind the wheel of a car is not a good option. When you are emotionally upset, you are more likely to go out and speed. Speeding fines are only going to make everything worse, so you are better to wait until you are calm. Make sure you stay calm while driving too. Don't allow yourself to be drawn into aggressive driving or rage at other drivers. This is dangerous and may make you drive faster.

Tip #5 - Never to close now - I'm sure you'll remember from your driving test (tests!) and exam , that the faster you go, the greater the stopping distance. When you're driving, give a quick thought to how far it would take you to stop, and this will probably give you a good awareness of your driving style. It will make you consciously aware of how long it will take you to stop in an emergency too. Thinking about this will actually reduce your speed too.

Tip #6 - What if... - This is a a really powerful tip. All you need to do is think about, what if a car pulled out, or a child crossed the road. What would happen if.... The inner awareness that this gives, actively increases your concentration and reduces the likelihood of speeding, and of course, accidents.

Tip #7 - zzZZZZoooooom- If you feel the need to break the speed limits, then its much better to remove yourself from public roads and take your desire to a track or race day. Its safer for you, and the public, and will save you money in the long run by not incurring penalty points or losing your license. - 2368

Is it Possible to Find a Rental Cars History?

By Amy Nutt

Most car rental companies normally keep their late-model cars for rent for one to two years after being in service. When the cars are retired from service, they will normally be sold at an auction, through a dealer, or directly from the rental company. When buying a rental car, one can usually get a real good deal. However, like any other vehicle you are interested in buying, it is important to find out the rental car history.

There are a number of benefits to purchasing a rental car. There can be good financing deals, affordable prices, easy access to company maintenance records, factory warranties may still be valid, and there are a variety of makes and models. Many of these companies inspect and maintain their vehicles regularly. and keep them clean and in good mechanical condition. With the many benefits, potential buyers have to consider that the vehicle has been driven by multiple owners so the car may have been mistreated, the vehicle may have high mileage, and there may be some damage.

Before purchasing a rental car you should protect yourself by acquiring a report on the history of the car. You can normally find pot about the history of the car by checking the title. You can contact the Department of Motor Vehicles request a title report giving. You will receive a history of the cars ownership from the date of its first purchase.

You can also find out a rental cars history by acquiring a CarFax report. Each year, CarFax is accessed by millions of people. Vehicle history reports are available for all used cars and light trucks model year from 1981 and later. Once you enter the VIN number, a report is made available about the car from a database of more than 6 billion records. Report is instantly generated from our database of over six billion records. CarFax obtains its data from over 20,000 information sources. This includes: vehicle auctions, fire and police departments, every U.S. and Canadian provincial motor vehicle agencies, plus, collision repair facilities, fleet management and rental agenciesetc.

Vehicle history reports include:

- Odometer readings Normal mileage for a rental is 20,000 - 30,000 miles. - Registration and Title information - Vehicle use (rental, lease, etc.) - Previous owners - Recall repair history. - Accident history, (exterior damage, flood, accident indicators, such as airbag deployments) - State emissions inspection results - Service records - Service Records:

Many companies sell cars out of their rental fleet. It's always best to have a rental car inspected by a mechanic before buying. For more information, contact your local car rental company. Buying a rental vehicle through Budget rental car sales can save you money, and you can own a vehicle with relatively low mileage and possibly some remaining warranty. Be a smart consumer before you buy and think of your rental car purchase as a large purchase, so put in the due diligence first. Reputable car rental companies generally conduct regular maintenance on their vehicles and replace them after only eight to 12 months. - 2368

Biking is Thriving Where Mountain Biking Began: Marin County, CA

By David DuPont

Whatever type of bicycling you prefer " BMX, Mountain or Road bicycling, Marin is a great place to do it. The terrain popular with BMXers, as well as established biking trails, and paved bike pathways are all found throughout the County. It is quite well known that Marin County was the birthplace of Mountain biking. BMX and Mountain biking aside, the most popular form of biking nowadays is Road bicycling.

Beginning with some history, its interesting to know that well-known BMX biker Billy Savage lived and biked in Marin from 1976 to 1983, but BMX, as a category, isnt as common in Marin as the other types of biking.

BMX bicycles have to be extremely sturdy machines because they take a beating during some extreme sporting events! Designed for stunts, tricks, and racing on hilly dirt BMX tracks, they have a single gear ratio with a freewheel and are built with smaller frames and wheels with wider, treaded tires.

When BMX events were part of the 2008 Summer Olympics in China it was clear that BMX had finally arrived. There were events in four different venues, which was a first for the sport. Half of the first six medals in BMX racing ever awarded in the history of the Olympics went to U.S. cyclists.

The Web site www.klunkerz.com provides complete information about each of the individuals who participated in mountain biking in Marin during the 1970s to make it the world-class sport that it is today. Mountain biking is rough and tough going and a good day isnt complete without getting at least some mud in your teeth.

Mountain biking pioneers did a lot of their biking on downhill trails they carved out around Mount Tamalpais in the 1970s. This was when Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher and others converted cruisers and balloon-tire bicycles into machines that could weather any type of road conditions.

Billy Savage recently directed a film about the early days of mountain biking in Marin called Klunkerz. In the process of making his film, what he found fascinating is that all the pioneers are very committed to the bicycle as transportation, and to the ecological and physical benefits of cycling to this day. They gave those old Klunkerz a new life, rescuing them out of trashcans and junkyards. They were reducing, reusing, and recycling long before it was hip to be green. They all continue to live this way in all aspects of their lives.

In recent years as the county establishes more bike paths where serious road cyclists can do some serious biking, Road bicycling has become very popular. The Marin County Bicycling Coalition (www.marinbike.org) promotes safe bicycling for everyday transportation and recreation. Marin County is one of only four counties nationwide that are engaged in a federal Non-motorized Transportation Pilot Program that promotes road bicycling, particularly commuting. It is the MCBC goal for 20% of trips in Marin County to be made by walking or bicycling.

This and other initiatives underway under the umbrella of this ambitious organization are all addressed by the MCBC Web site. One of their Web pages has links to an exciting array of informative pages, including the following:

* More than 50 Great Reasons to Ride a Bike

* Basic Cycling Essentials

* Cycling for Fun

* Cyclist Etiquette

* Commuting By Bike

* Bicycle Map of Marin (free when joining the Marin County Bicycling Coalition)

* Directions for riding via the North-South Greenway from San Francisco to Petaluma

* Riding over the Golden Gate Bridge - 2368

Custom Motorcycle Number Plates - Worth The Effort

By Ric Preston

Paying someone to make you up a custom motorcycle number plate is one of the best ways to make your motorcycle one of a kind for little cash.

It doesn't matter if you want to create a road bike that's a little different from all the others out there of you want to build a show winning monster, a cool number plate is always a welcome addition.

If you live in the UK them you'll know that it never used to be very difficult to find someone who could make up a plate to exact specifications no matter what design you wanted.

It is still possible to find companies online who will sell you a custom plate but you'll need to finish the job yourself as they will only send you a number plate kit. They provide a blank number plate and a transfer which you have to apply yourself, not a tough job but the end product is never as good.

It has become much harder to get these great custom plates is due to a clampdown by the law which states that it is illegal to supply motorcycle number plates which don't comply to the DVLA's standard.

UK companies selling plates for road use need to meet the standards or they face the possibility of being prosecuted. These legal plates are obviously nice and easy to read by the police and other road users so its not hard to understand why we are required to follow these rules.

To get a custom bike plate without making it up yourself you will have to do some searching for a manufacturer who is willing to take some risks. You also have to decide whether taking the risk of running illegal plates is worth it as a 30 fine and points on your license could be the result if you get caught. - 2368

The Most Fundamental Necessities For a Camping Out Vacation

By Jaden Xavier

Are you designing a camping holiday for the full household? Well it is a fine reprieve from the flurry of city life now and again. Planning is the best key to the success of your trip so here are some of the tips on how you can be better prepared for the holiday vacation ahead of you.

Foremost, conduct research about the area or the camping ground where the vacation will be maintained. Determine each visible facility and necessities and learn what they may lack and which involves particular focus. Many of the inaccessible areas I have been do not normally have working water and showers.

In a few instances, they may be available but they are not fit for drinking, cleaning, laundering or cooking so make sure to carry with you enough provisions of bottled H2O or bring some purification pills. Do not forfeit your family's wellness and safety simply to be in a site that promises amazing views. To optimally enjoy it you need to check that your family's fundamental essentials are substantially taken care of.

Before getting too excited about visiting the Grand Canyon, you need to check on the climate and weather conditions so that you will realize or at least guess the correct kinds of clothing to take with you on your travels.

Take an appropriate sleeping bag for the weather and atmospheric conditions of your camping vacation. If it is a warm climate place then a light sleeping bag will be inexpensive and simple to get. If you will be camping in a poor climate destination then it is prudent to buy a light yet substantially insulated and water tolerant sleeping bag.

Check and carry with you a well equipped first aid kit for emergency troubles. Make sure to have different sizings of bandages, towels, alcohol, emollients, disinfecting sprays, soothing or medicinal lotions and other interrelated requirements.

It is also wise to bring a few antihistamines and pain relieving medicine. If there is somebody in the household that takes daily or frequent medicine, make sure to take it with you to ward off any trouble. Preventive steps should be required so that you will not only enjoy the camping out vacation but also make your journey safe and cozy. - 2368

Hydrogen Gas In Cars - A Viable Alternative To Gasoline

By Adrian Fletcher

Your vehicle is probably running on ethanol-enhanced gasoline as this is currently the cheapest fuel you will find at the gas station. Ethanol has been touted as the answer to reducing Americas dependence on foreign oil supplies as well as reduction in greenhouse gas emission levels. People are beginning to question this proposition as producing swathes of crops is possibly as inefficient as the fuel it produces. Ethanol is a fuel that cars have been using to run without optimization for a long time, so obviously its not the right choice. A new contender for better fuel economy is using hydrogen gas in cars.

Using hydrogen gas in cars gives numerous more advantages over ethanol and gasoline fuels. Hydrogen gas is a better and cleaner burning fuel leaving no carbon behind but emits only water vapor consisting mainly of majority of nitrogen. Nitrogen makes up more than three-quarters of the air we inhale. Hydrogen fuel roughly gives two-thirds better fuel economy at half the cost of gasoline.

The two major setbacks of changing over to hydrogen gas in cars are the system within the car and fuel availability. If you do not live within close proximity to a hydrogen generation plant (and who does ?), chances are there are probably no stations where you can purchase commercially produced hydrogen to fuel your car with.

The use of hydrogen gas in cars is currently restricted while traveling long distances out on the road. This is partly due to the present inadequacy of the technology for generating significantly large amounts of this fuel right on the vehicle. Some car manufacturers planning to offer fully hydrogen-powered cars are also planning home hydrogen gas fueling stations. A home hydrogen gas fueling station may possibly not only fuel your car but power your house too, which will offer big savings both monetarily and environmentally.

A few viable alternatives exist for converting your gas-powered car into a hydrogen fuel hybrid which will let you benefit from both increases in fuel economy and a big reduction in the car's emissions. There are kits for sale that output a small amount of hydrogen fuel. They do this by using a supply of water and the electricity from your car to produce hydrogen and mixing that with the existing gas that is already powering the car. Such kits can be simple models that can be purchased for a few hundred dollars, or specialty deluxe models that will set you back thousands.

When hydrogen fuel production begins on mega scale and will be easily available in big volume, we will definitely begin to see new inventions when we start using hydrogen gas in cars. Indeed, BMW are publicizing their work on a hydrogen fuel car but it is only a one off prototype without any commercial potential to date. Before that date when this becomes commercially viable arrives, home-made kits that use readily available parts and plain water can help the mechanically-inclined to get a long up on the technology. Instructions for creating your own water to gas kits are found on the internet through sites such as Water4gas.

It's not only do-it-yourselfers and automobile manufacturers paying attention to hydrogen gas in cars, energy companies and even governments are now exploring hydrogen fuel technology. With more interest along with financial resources to back up continuing research, the day may soon come that hydrogen gas will be the fuel of choice powering your car. - 2368

Waterproof GPS Handhelds - Practical Features For Modern Sportsmen

By Alice Rea

GPS were originally used in military and other government applications. Today, it is also used in other areas like navigation and sports. Though GPS is composed of electronic devices, some handhelds can be used in water.

Sportsmen that are focused in water activities like kayaking and canoeing can benefit from this. They can now enjoy the basic features of waterproof GPS handhelds, calculate distance between points, and have a map display according to latitude and longitude coordinates.

Some features should be understood before buying waterproof GPS handhelds, as they can be found in its specifications, and worth the comparison among models. Such features are also suitable for older and non-waterproof units.

In buying waterproof GPS handhelds, some characteristics should be understood because they often appear in specifications sheet and are good measures when comparing units. The following terms are also applicable for non-waterproof GPS.

Augmentation System: This system serves as the corrector for the received signal by the GPS. It can be found in the specifications as WAAS, or Wide Area Augmentation System. It increases the accuracy of the signal for positions outside 10-feet from the unit. WAAS-enabled units are five times more accurate than WAAS-disabled units.

Topographical Maps: Most GPS can electronically display 2D or 3D maps, but older models do not. For such models, plotters will be required to have a printout of the map. Advanced models can go beyond normal topographic information by implementing Digital Elevation Model technology, commonly called as DEM. It is a feature to have better visualization of contours at different zoom levels. Moreover, handhelds can store new maps by accessing data cards and compact discs.

Wide Area Augmentation System: Commonly known as WAAS, augmentation system corrects the signal received by the GPS for distances beyond 10 feet. Enabling WAAS can increase accuracy up to five times.

Advanced features of waterproof GPS handhelds include touch screen display, switch controls for various activities, expansion slots, and digital compasses. High-end units have the feature to display water depth, harbors, and other marine information. Some also comes in floatable packages for easy retrieval when dropped in water. In addition, some unit incorporates GPS with two-way radios, enabling sportsmen to have a 5-mile range communication. However, such units should first acquire FCC license before using to ensure that it will not interfere with other electronic device. - 2368

Maximum Length Of The RV In National Parks

By Morgan Lee

Yosemite is the amazing place which provides sorts of leisure facilities and comforts for spending long time to its campers. Camping becomes more wonderful when provided in the national parks. You can plan camping anywhere in Yosemite. There are more than 10 campsites where you can plan your trip. Different types of vehicles can also be booked on affordable rates. You can book large size vehicles like trailers and recreation vehicles and you do not have to worry for their parking. Campers can book these campsites in advance so that there is no difficulty in busy reason.

I would like to provide valuable information about campsites in this place:

1. Campers can make reservation to such campsites in because it is quite difficult to get the place. In the busy season you cannot think of getting the reservation instantly. You can move to campsites which do not require reservation.

2. All campsites do not allow more than 35 feet vehicle to enter into the premises. Length of the Recreation Vehicle and trailers is point of concern over here. But in Yosemite in many campsites you can even book 40feet vehicles and there is no extra charge for the parking too.

3. Recreation vehicle and trailers are subject to technical issues. Campsites permit variable size of the recreation vehicle and trailers and permit for the size of both these vehicles is not the same. In some places you may find the dumb stations too for the convenience.

4. The limitation in the measurement is required for avoiding the discomfort to the campers. Parking size of these campsites is quite large but the turning radius of these vehicles take lot of space and it can create disorder.

5. You can enjoy camping in the tents and even can accommodate in vehicles in Wawona and Hogdon Meadow. These are popular campsites for your enjoyment. Restrictions are for the benefit of the campers and you must search internet for the complete information before embarking the journey.

6. There are fine restaurants that provide delicious food to the guests so food is not the problem in these campsites. You can choose the restaurant depending on the flavor and preferred dishes. You can eat the food and can enjoy the drinks according to your wish in these restaurants.

These campsites are best place for spending energetic vacations. You can search internet or contact `the travel agents for arranging your trip. - 2368

Going Camping In An RV

By Bob Baxter

Reflecting on the past we notice that RV camping has been around a very long time. It was enjoyed a lot back then and still is now. Many memorable times can be had by families that take these camping trips year after year.

Pioneers were thought to be the first RVers but that is debatable. How much fun would they have had when they were looking for water or avoiding snakes? They probably did have a bit of fun, but survival was the main goal for them. It was not nearly the same thing as it is today.

The values and togetherness that families share now, whether they are alone or in groups is something that seemed to be lost with the hectic lives that we lead. Seeing families reunite and share camping trips together is a beautiful thing. The family unit seems to be getting a bit of lift back to the way it used to be by families that share in these events.

To enjoy an RV camping trip the first thing a person needs is an RV. There are many different types that a person can choose from, and it can be affordable if you take the time to look around. If you are handy at fixing things you may find one that just needs a bit of work.

Other than the actual investment of the trailer the costs can vary from campsite to campsite. There are tons of campgrounds around to choose from though. It all depends on what you are wanting from the campsite on what the cost will be. Hydro sites tend to cost more, but if you look around they too can be found at reasonable rates.

Even with the option of hydro, many people still prefer to camp the old style way. They like to cook over the open fire and don't want the reminders of the way things are at home either. They make it a true get away.

Driving Distracted Or Driving Drunk: Equally Lethal?

By Johnny Robertson

We notice more of a police presence on the roads and highways as we are driving by. On the way home from a midnight run to the local drugstore, we run into a sobriety checkpoint. It is probably a holiday weekend and the police are out to protect us from ourselves and each other. But what about the danger we put ourselves and others in when we insist on driving while distracted?

As we are because more connected through our technology, there are more things to be distracted with as we zoom off on the highway. Several years ago we had enough to be distracted with there was the radio, the kids and, for some, putting on make-up or shaving. Now we have cell phones, smart phones, DVD players, satellite radio and talking GPS systems that have our partial attention

The only laws that have been passed that fall under the category of a distraction is the law prohibiting the use of hand-held phones and most states do not allowing texting while driving. Breaking these laws does not come close to having the same repercussions that are enforced for drunk driving. For the first offense of driving while texting is a fine for $25 to $50 opposed to the fines, loss of driving privileges, mandatory classes about drunk driving and possible jail time that imposed for the first offense of driving drunk.

When driving drunk, we are in an altered state. The mind and body do not react very quickly, our focus is not where it needs to be and we do things that we might not do otherwise. Driving while multi-tasking, we do not react as quickly to change, our focus is not on the road in front of us and, at we drift into the next lane while we look up latest stock quotes.

Life can change in an instant and it does not necessarily have to be anyone's fault. However, it is our fault if we did not prepare ourselves to attempt to react. Our careers are becoming more demanding and we are required to be accessible a majority of the time. Is a missed phone call or a quick text to communicate your hottest idea worth putting yourself and others at risk?

The judicial system is slow to catch up with today's technology. Texting and hand-held cell phones are a no-no while driving but there not any laws that prohibit people from eating, putting on make-up or perusing the internet on our smart phone. The number of drunken driving incidents has gone down because the laws are unbending and not really open too much interpretation.

Even though it is illegal to drive while texting in many states, not many tickets are being handed out to those in violation. Texting is too hard to prove, unless it is blatant. Blatant as in both arms resting on top of the steering wheel and texting with both hands. There too many other activities that can be mistaken as texting.

Putting aside arguments and statistics, how easy will it be to explain to a grieving family why it was more important that you send that text than to worry about the safety of their loved one? - 2368

Getting Good Florida Automobile Insurance for your Needs

By Marcus Werthein

Living in Florida, having good Florida automobile insurance is absolutely critical. In order to ensure that you are fully protected though, you need to take the time to carefully review all of the state requirements, and then start reviewing your present coverage to ensure that they match up properly. Not having the correct insurance can be not only really expensive, but also create legal problems and hassles that you really do not want to deal with.

In the state of Florida, motorists are required to carry a minimum of personal injury coverage, as well as property damage liability coverage. This typically is much less than most insurance companies will try to offer, but gives you the basic coverage that will bring you within legal guidelines. However, it is important to realize that this still leaves rather large gaps in your coverage that could prove to be extremely costly in the event of an accident.

Purchasing additional coverage from your insurance company to help close these gaps can be a huge savings. One of the most popular added options includes bodily injury liability. This helps to reduce the amount of money that you are paying out of pocket in the event of an accident, and also makes it much safer for your finances and assets to help prevent any unexpected disasters from occurring should an accident take place.

Striving to ensure that you have the correct insurance means you need to take some time to look over all of the options that you have, and make certain that you are purchasing only from reputable Florida automobile insurance providers. If you are unsure, whether the provider that you are considering is licensed to offer insurance in Florida you should consider taking the time to ask if they can provide them with proof of their legal ability to offer insurance in the state of Florida.

What many people are unaware of, is they can have their license suspended if they fail to maintain proper Florida automobile insurance. Not keeping coverage for their vehicle will result in the Department of Highway Safety to pull the license, and charge a fee of up to $500 to reinstate it once proof of Florida automobile insurance has been submitted. Taking a gamble such as this is simply not worth it because of the additional charges and hassle that you must deal with.

Obtaining affordable Florida automobile insurance is really simple and easy. By contacting local insurance companies in your area, you are going to have more luck looking for someone who is actually licensed to offer insurance legally in Florida. Of course, looking around to find the best deal possible for price and coverage is still very important and can allow you to get the greatest benefit for your money.

Picking the right Florida automobile insurance policy for your needs will take a bit of work, but allows you to ensure that you are not only in alignment with the laws, but also getting an affordable rate on the coverage. Knowing that there are some great deals available can also make it much easier to shop around for a good policy that fits all of your needs, and keeps you within the insurance laws for Florida. - 2368

Picnics: Free Fun!

By Barb Roehler

The summer months are the perfect time of year to enjoy the outdoors, and there is no better way to really have a great afternoon than by having a picnic. Picnics are fantastic because they are easy to put together, easy to clean up, and they can be as large or as intimate as you would like them. So if you are in the market to plan a picnic then dont wait, but you will want to spend a bit of time figuring out what type of picnic supplies you will want to have on hand to make it more enjoyable.

Where to sit? Depending on where you are having your picnic you will need to plan out where you are going to sit. Traditionally, most picnics take place on a blanket. They key to choosing the right blanket as part of your picnic supplies is that you want it to be durable, and most importantly washable. However, not all picnics take place on the ground. Many people take advantage of the tables and benches available at many park shelters or beaches. If this is more what you are looking for you might want to think about whether you are going to want something to cover the benches with? Do you simply want a tarp to protect your clothing, or are you looking for comfort? In that case you might want to choose a seat cushion as part of your picnic supplies.

What to take? Obviously picnics center around food, but the real question is how you are going to get it to your location. Picnic baskets are a fantastic option to help you cart your meal around. There are so many different styles and varieties of picnic baskets around that you will really have your pick of what you are looking for. Typically when thinking about picnic supplies you will want your basket to have cups, plates, flatware, and ample room to store your food. Those are the basics. However, there are fancier varieties that include wine baskets, wine glasses, salt and pepper shakers, cutting boards, and even cloth napkins. What you really should do is think about what your personal needs and wants are regarding picnic supplies, and then find yourself a basket that is tailor made to fit those.

What to do? A picnic is not made complete by simply eating outside. Instead, the activities are really part of what makes a picnic so memorable. The great thing about picnics is that they can provide a truly economical option for a days worth of entertainment. When packing your picnic supplies do not forget to pack some fun sports equipment like Frisbees, hula hoops, and/or a football. If you are headed for the beach what about packing up some water balloons and squirt guns? Or for a hiking adventure, why not print out a list for a nature scavenger hunt. And do not forget those relaxed moments in your picnic. Simply having a great book or new magazine can provide some quiet entertainment. - 2368

Learn About Activity Holidays : Booking Considerations

By Jennie Plant

Choosing an appropriate activity holiday is the focus of this installment of our guide to activity holidays.

There are a wide range of activity holidays that are designed to please, that have different fitness levels, experience, and interests. Little or no experience is required to participate, simply an eagerness to get out there and try something different.

Enthusiasm is only half of the equation though, with your level of fitness being the other half. How well your level of fitness matches the activities you choose will effect how much you enjoy your holiday so you'll need to think seriously about your own capabilities. Since you guide/instructor is only there to help, it is not right for you to take a trip that will slow other patrons down, or even possibly put their lives in danger.

You should get in contact with the holiday activity booking company if you believe that you age may be a barrier to doing a particular activity. As for disabilities, these may or may not be barrier to participation, normally an activity holiday company will find a workable compromise but with some activities this may not be possible.

Leisurely, moderate, or intense, are the usual ratings that websites and brochures list about the activities of a certain trip they offer. Since these are ratings from the experiences of the people that came before you, this is something that should be paid attention to before booking your trip. Only choose a moderate or intense one because your want a challenge, not because you think choosing a leisurely one will make you seem weak.

Other important factors to take into consideration when deciding upon which activity holiday to book are the level of comfort in terms of accommodation, traveling, available facilities, temperature range and likely weather conditions, and the remoteness of the area, likely terrain, altitude and access to emergency services.

Although the tour operators spend a lot of time researching destinations, the routes they take, the equipment and operations, as well as making sure that everything has been tested, there is no way for them to guarantee your safety. - 2368

Activity Holidays 101 : What Are They?

By Simon Walton

In this installment of our activity holidays guide we look at what to expect on an activity holiday.

Activity holidays have become popular abroad or within your own country, spending a few days, weeks or even months participating in one or multiple different types of activities. You might take part in activities on a "normal" vacation, but activity holidays are different because the activity (or activities) is the main focus of your vacation, not just an add-on

They generally are more costly than say a 'normal' holiday, but not always. Organizing your own trip is possible and can save hundreds of dollars but can be difficult if you need to adhere to a tight schedule or if you don't know the local language. Also, using a good activity holiday company for your bookings ensures your safety is taken care of, even though these trips are more risky, since their reputation relies on it.

Such holidays are generally offered as an all-inclusive package so the price listed on websites or in brochures will include your accommodation and food, as well as the instruction you'll receive from your instructors / guides. Sometimes insurance and transportation is also included, so make sure you ask and get confirmation in writing as to exactly what's included or not.

There are a number of these trips that cater to holidays for adult groups but family and children packages are also available. Groups tend to be small in size, with an average of 10-15 people participating on each, though this will vary somewhat depending on the type of activities being undertaken. Smaller groups allow for more attention from the guide as well as less time just standing around thus making for a much better experience.

Rather than picking your destination first, you should choose what kind of activity or activities you'd like to take part in, and then see where they're offered. Reason being is that you will most likely spend most of your time participating in the activities rather that exploring the destination you have choose. - 2368

Wearing gloves may be some thing you have to consider, especially if you're utilizing any caustic products, which would include the pain stripper. By wearing gloves, you are ensuring your hands are going to stay paint free, which means you will not need a chemical to remove the paint from them once you're finished.

A couple people find wearing safety goggles a pain. Make no mistake though they can save your eyesight should an unlucky accident occur. A piece of rust or even a splash from one of the products could be easily stopped by these goggles.

Car Maintenance Basics For Everyone

By Eric Glisan

Modern cars are significantly more complex than their counterparts from the 1960's and 1970's, and working on them is an even more specialized discipline. The modern mechanic needs a laptop computer as much as he needs a tool box, and for this reason even those with a decent aptitude for working on engines are opting to have their repairs done by a professional. Still, there are a number of simple car maintenance steps that anyone can do. These simple tasks will go a long way toward preventing trouble which saves you time and money as well as resulting in a safer driving experience.

--Wash your car regularly: Keeping the exterior clean may not be as important as taking care of what's under the hood, but it still has a number of practical upsides. A clean car looks better, of course, and its much more enjoyable to drive a clean car than a dirty car. More significantly, frequent washing will keep your headlights and windshield clean, as well as preventing rust and corrosion.

--Clean the undercarriage of the car: This is especially true if you live anywhere it snows"all of the salt and other gunk your car gets underneath it will rust out your body faster than anything. I dont care how cold it is, you should give your car a good bath at least once a week during the winter, and make sure to get underneath the wheel wells and the undercarriage of your car.

--Wash your engine: Not only is your engine subject to the same 'threats' as the exterior and undercarriage of your car, it also collects crusty oil, battery acid and a variety of other contaminants. Keeping your engine clean will not only protect against corrosive damage, but will help your car run cooler and more efficiently. Wash your engine every time you wash your car, and let it idle before you start driving to allow it to dry completely.

--Change and/or clean your air filter: Change your filter every time you change your oil filter. While it won't kill you to change your filter less frequently, they're so cheap and easy to replace there's really no reason to put it off. In between changes, give the filter a good spray with a compressed air hose and blow out the filter chamber as well.

--Check and change your oil: Check the dipstick level every time you stop for gas, and don't run your car without the appropriate amount of oil. An older vehicle may burn oil, but if you have a new car that is burning oil it needs to be checked out. Change your oil frequently"at least every 5,000 miles and better still, every 3,000 miles. Change your filter when you change the oil or youre going to be pumping clean oil through a dirty filter which defeats the purpose. Oil changes are a pretty easy job even for those without much of a mechanical background, and drive thru oil change businesses are ubiquitous in any decent sized market. Most of these places do a decent job and charge a reasonable fee. Many also take care of several other of the maintenance tasks on this list.

--Other fluids: Change your anti-freeze every year, and eyeball the coolant reservoir anytime youre under the hood to make sure that its full. Check the transmission, brake and power-steering fluids frequently, and top off when necessary.

--Check your air pressure and rotate your tires: Check your air pressure levels with a tire gauge at least once a week, keeping them filled to manufacturer specified levels. Also, don't forget about the spare. Rotate your tires every few months to insure even wear. Some automotive chains will do this free of charge if you're a regular customer, but even if you're not it's a lot easier for them to do with the car up on the rack than for you to do with a jack and jack stand. Simply checking the air pressure in your tires and rotating them periodically prevents countless problems and saves you a ton of money.

Emergency tools and equipment: Despite your best efforts to the contrary, things will eventually go wrong. When in does, youll be glad that you planned ahead. These items should be in your trunk at all times: tire gauge, pliers (slip-joint and needle nose), adjustable wrench, flat head and Phillips screwdriver. Dont buy cheap tools"theyll break and the least opportune times. Invest in Craftsman tools or another premium brand, and youll be set for life. Youll also need a flashlight, and if you live somewhere it snows its also a good idea to have salt, sand, a small shovel, and a blanket just in case you get snowbound and have to sleep in your car. A cellphone charger is also a good thing to have, since a cellphone doesn't do much good if your batteries are dead. There are also 'emergency' cellphone chargers that don't require a power source.

--Get an auto club membership: An auto club at a minimum should give you free towing, trip continuation insurance, lockout service, free maps, and some other bells and whistles. AAA is the best known, but there are countless others provided by credit card companies, cellphone providers, banks, etc. Shop around and find the best deal for the services you need. A growing number of car manufacturers also include lifetime roadside assistance, and not just luxury brands--Mini Cooper and Volkswagen offer new car buyers 24 hour roadside assistance free of charge. Also, ask about the size of their provider network. In a decent sized city you'll be fine but if you live or frequently travel in less populated areas you might want to stick to AAA or another major company. There's nothing more infuriating that learning that your auto club doesn't have providers in Mesquite, Nevada or Vernal, Utah.

These tips require any real mechanical skill, but will enhance your driving experience. You'll have a safer, better running vehicle that will be more dependable and cost you less money over the long haul. - 2368

Save Time and Money With 50cc Scooters

By Donald Mihajlov

Money is something that we are all looking for these days and we are trying to save it any way we can. Realistically, one of the larger costs that we all have each and every week is the cost of filling up our gas tanks. Depending upon what kind of car you have and how far you have to travel, you could be spending as much as $150-$200 a week just on gasoline. You are exactly the person that needs to start looking at 50cc scooters as an alternative to firing up that big engine all the time.

As the cost of gas goes up, filling that monster that you drive around in is costing you a small fortune. Figuring that the average car gets about 20-25 MPG, you could be filling up your tank as many as 3 or 4 times a week. At $50 or more a fill, it gets pretty pricey. Wouldn't you rather fill up your ride once a week and only spend about $15 to do so? With a 50cc scooter, you are going to get anywhere from 80-100 MPG and that means a lot less money being spent at the pump.

How aggravated do you get when you cannot find a parking spot anywhere? Maybe it is a quick run to the store or you are just going over to a friend's house. If you live in the city, you may be parking blocks away and possibly even have to pay for your spot. Do you realize how small of a space a 50cc scooter can fit into?

Traffic jams are another reason that you may want to consider a scooter. When everyone else is stacked up, you have plenty of space to get by and can get to where you are going in half the time it would have taken you in your car. That scooter is starting to look pretty good right now isn't it?

Finally, think about the costs of insurance and how much it costs to maintain your car from all the wear and tear that city driving causes. When you really look at it, traveling around on a scooter just makes sense. You save both time and money and there isn't a person alive that doesn't want to do that. - 2368

Ladies Petite Golf Sets: Are They Right For You?

By Sue Rainson

Are you a new lady golfer and wondering whether you should be looking for ladies petite golf sets or standard sets? Selecting a golf club is a lot like selecting a dress. Height makes a big difference in the size of the dress you buy and the same is true for the type of golf clubs you should buy. Dresses come in petite, average and tall sizes; the same is true for golf clubs.

If your height falls between 5' 2" and 5' 8" then standard sets would be appropriate for you. However if your height measures less than 5'2" then ladies petite golf sets would be a better fit for you. For those ladies over 5'8" tall length clubs are available. These club sizes reflect typical recommendations, since no industry standard is available. Trying different clubs and sizes is the best way to find what is right for you.

Sometimes new golfers are unaware of the impact that using wrong golf clubs can have on their game. You will find ladies golf sets are lighter than men sets. Unless you possess a powerful swing, the lighter club should enable you to have more control over your swing.

Ladies petite golf sets contain clubs that are one inch shorter in length than the standard sets. Length is another factor that plays a part in control over your golf swing. Using a club that is too long for your frame can affect the performance of your swing.

When choosing a set of clubs the feel and grip of the clubs is important. It is always best to try different ones to see what feels best to you.

If you are beginning the process of shopping for clubs, then pay a visit to your local golf pro shop and try out a few of the clubs. Be sure to talk with the golf pro at the shop for his or her recommendations for you.

Don't hesitate to buy a used set of clubs should you find some that are a good price and fit you well. Frequently beginner golfers use a starter set or a used set of clubs.

Over the past years golf has risen in popularity for lady golfers. More women golf products are available today than ever before because manufactures have recognized this growing popularity and have extended there manufacturing lines. You will discover a wide range of ladies golf products to meet almost any need, including ladies petite golf sets. - 2368

Are you trying to decide if petite ladies golf club sets are right for you? Then consider how you would go about shopping for ladies golf attire. Would you head straight to the petite department? If so, this would be a strong indication that ladies petite golf sets would be right for you.

Car Bodywork Repair Paint - Learn To Remove Car Paint Quickly

By Edward Gainer

Spray paint could end up on your car several different ways. 1 it can be an over spray from different area that youre painting on the car. 2 it could be an accident that somehow the spray got on it. Or you made up your mind to spray paint the car yourself, then did not like it or made a mistake.

How hard a job it is going to be to get rid of it will depend on alot of components. First, you need to determine the type of paint. Hopefully it'll be a water based paint which is much easier to deal with. All you will most likely have to do heres wash the region down well with soapy water. Now if its an oil based paint then it makes things a little more challenging. Then another dilemma might be you do not even recognize what kind of paint it is.

First of all, there are various kinds of paint. It can be lacquer or acrylic. It can even be enamel but this isn't as favorite as it used to be. If your original paint on your car happens to be enamel then if the accidental spray paint is lacquer or acrylic would make the enamel paint look creased. Regrettably, the only solution in this case would be to scrape the area clean and then re-paint it to match the automobiles basic color.

If you are fortunate enough to have an original finish of acrylic or lacquer and enamel paint has been sprayed on top of it, there wont be whatsoever wrinkles to the original. You want to determine if the paint is enamel, so here is what you do.

Take whatever paint thinner, kerosene, gasoline or turpentine and use a small amount to a clean white cloth. Now really gently rub over the paint you want to take out. If you see the paint color being transferred to the cloth, then it's enamel. If the cloth remains clear then its acrylic or lacquer.

Get Help With Finding The Best New Car Deals

By Sharon Lorn

We all enjoy the Net. We like the ease of online shopping because it's fast and easy to buy anything, including big purchases like automobiles. Just going to Ebay Automotive will give you lots of alternatives to offer on when purchasing an automobile.

There are many other websites that will also sell you a car. Every auto dealership in the world seems to have their own web site, and then there are the generic websites. So it's easy to buy a car on the web, but what about my auto insurance?

That you will find just as easy, if not easier than locating a place to buy an automobile on the internet. Every auto insurance company has their own site and then again, there are a lot of generic auto loan brokers with web sites as well. Some will claim to insure you the smallest interest rate anyplace and will tell you how easy it is to buy insurance with them.

But, something numerous individuals do not know is that interest rates for online loans incline to have higher interest rates than loans you get in person.

That's correct. Online car loans will be more expensive than you might get from someone you can reach by telephone or by traveling to their local office.

Why would online auto loans cost more? I'm glad you asked. The people that apply for loans online are more probable to have bad credit according to numerous studies done by the automobile insurance industry.

For that reason, online auto loans have a higher interest rate to cancel the chance made by the insurance company. That is not to say that you cannot possibly find an inexpensive rate for your auto loan online, but you are more likely to get an improved rate from a local broker.

Your local Credit Union, Bank, or even the automobile dealer's chosen loan company are all probably going to make you an improved rate on your car loan. Browsing around on the web, then going to your local alternatives to compare financing selections is invariably suggested.

Recall that purchasing a car is one of the larger purchases you make. The loan you have for your car is one you will be bound to for at least a few years, so shop for the greatest deal before investing to anyone.

You will find such a huge variety of options it will astound you. One lender may be offering interest rates that are around 7.5% while others are providing 2% or even 0% car loan financing. Why are different lenders proposing such different terms for auto loans?

Once More, I'm glad you inquired. Competition is just one of the elements needed in what a company provides you for your auto loan. One of the other factors are studies made by each private company as to what is a high risk or low risk loan. For example: If you purchase a black car in Pennsylvania, you will pay more for your automobile insurance than you would if you had bought a grey or purple car.

They have completed reports there that say they pay out more claims to individuals who own red cars than they do to individuals who own cars of different colors. Possibly they get a lot of tickets, one broker I spoke with indicated. The police forces notice the red automobiles more often.

Whatever the conclusion, it goes to show that there are some elements that determine what you will pay for your auto loan. The fact that a higher share of individuals who apply for online car loans have worse credit than those who apply for their loan offline influences the rates you will pay for an online loan.

I hope this article has been instrumental to you and will encourage you to shop before you purchase when it comes time to find your car insurance. Make sure you are getting the greatest deal achievable. Also, ask the insurance broker what factors are determining the rate of your loan. It may make you change your mind about the type or color of car you are buying. - 2368

Information Required To Get An Auto Insurance Quote

By Amy Nutt

A car is something that everyone will eventually need in their lives, and there will need to be insurance for every car that will be on the road legally. Insurance is something that can be a bit of a hassle at first, especially for your first car. The documentation is something that is quite important for a person; as it will be the basis for the auto insurance quote. There are required documents that a person will need for a proper quote, and they are essentially quite basic.

Driver's License

The company is going to make sure that you have a valid driver's license, which is undoubtedly the most important. Why would they want to insure you if you cannot legally operate an automobile in the first place? Furthermore, this is to verify your age, name, and sex. In many states and countries, the age and sex matter to a company when they are determining your quote. Especially the factor of age, as younger drivers tends to get in more accidents than drivers with more experience.

Proof of Income

This is especially needed because the person is going to want to know how much you make in order to give an adequate quote. Basically, a person is going to want to make sure that they have their pay stubs for the current month when presenting these for a quote, as well as a running tally of what you have made for the year. This is to protect the interest of both parties, as the person who's giving the quote will want to make sure that they are giving the insurance to a person who will be able to make all of the monthly payments.

Credit Score

The car insurance company will like to know your credit history, and this is probably one of the biggest factors. Basically, it determines how responsible you have been in the past, and if your credit score is pretty good, you will be rewarded for it. On the flip side, if it is not so good, there will more than likely be a penalty for not paying for your obligations on time.

Driving Record

This is also important, and is a huge factor in determining the accurate car insurance quote. The person who tends to get in more accidents is someone who will be a bit harder to insure, as this will cost the company money. Obviously, the person with the cleaner driving record will get the lower quote than those with one a bit more sordid.

The type of vehicle is also important when determining a car insurance quote, because if you are to get in an accident, there will more than likely be some kind of work done to the car. With that said, some parts for some vehicles can cost a lot more than others. Since the insurance company will be footing a good portion of the bill, they would like to know what they are getting into. There may be a few more pieces of information to get a car insurance quote, but these are definitely the most important. - 2368
